Praying for our Children P.3

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

I am continuing to share  some Biblical virtues  parents and grandparents   ought to be praying over their children  that they will grow up strong in the Lord.  

Feel free to add anything to each prayer that makes it  powerful and  relevant to your  child.

Courage

May your children always be strong and courageous their character and in their actions. ...  to be courageous  sometimes means to turn the other cheek.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Purity

 Create in them a pure heart , O God,  and let that purity of heart be shown in their actions.

Psalm 51:10

Kindness

Lord, may my children always try to be kind to each other,  and to every one else.

1 Thessalonians 5:15

Generosity

Grant that my children may be generous and willing to share, and so lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age.

1 Timothy 6:18-19

Peace-Loving

Father, let my children make every effort to do what leads to peace.

Romans 14:19

   I do not know about you,  but just for me to type these virtues, I feel a sweeping up in my heart for your children. I do  pray that  you will take time to   be with your children,    read to them and and especially pray these prayers over them  and that you will  see  a  building up of their character  that will  go with them throughout their life.  

Next time  we will pray for 

joy,  perseverance, humility, compassion, and responsibility.
